There’s a new poster for the JJ Abrams’-produced, sort-of-vaguely Cloverfield sequel 10 Cloverfield Lane. The central image – of the bunker in which most of the action takes place reimagined as a mail box – is striking enough but look a little closer (and you can if you click on it for much larger version) and you’ll see it’s absolutely packed with Easter eggs.

FOX has announced 11.22.63, the time travel mini-series based on the excellent Stephen King novel about a man trying to prevent the assassination of JFK, will debut in the UK on FOX UK on Sunday 10 April. Here’s the US trailer…
The epic new nine-hour event series has been produced by JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions and Warner Bros Television. Academy Award-winner Kevin Macdonald (The Last King Of Scotland, State Of Play) directs and serves...

Just a week after the release of the Super Bowl trailer for 10 Cloverfield Lane, another new trailer for the JJ Abrams-produced distant cousin to Cloverfield debuted during the season premier of The Walking Dead in the States last night. It reveals a little bit more about how Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s character becomes trapped in a bunker with John Goodman’s and John Gallagher Jr’s character. The biggest new piece of information (or maybe...

This new Super Bowl trailer for the JJ Abrams-produced, maybe-kinda-possibly-or-possibly-not Cloverfield sequel/prequel/equal/distant cousin (delete as applicable after you’ve seen the film), 10 Cloverfield Lane, gives us a better idea of the story’s all about. Seems that Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s character Michelle isn’t stuck in John Goodman’s bunker by choice. And while he may not the nicest of hosts he may be preferable to be stuck...

So now there’s also a poster for that mysterious new film JJ Abrams-produced film 10 Cloverfield Place. And no, it doesn’t really shed any new light on the whole affair. But then, it clearly wasn’t supposed to. To be honest, the poster reminds us more of Super-8 than Cloverfield, not that that’s a bad thing. And yes, we know monsters come in many forms. One of them is currently masquerading in the form a haystack-haired Republican Party...

The internet went into WTF? mode during the small hours as reports started to seep through that people who went to see Michael Bay’s 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi at US cinemas last night were presented with a trailer for what seemed to be a Cloverfield sequel called 10 Cloverfield Lane.
Having this trailer appear from nowhere mirrors the original mystifying trailer for Cloverfield that debuted unexpectedly with another Michael Bay...

More and more these days advance trailers contain scenes that never make it into the final film, such as the famous “skydiving Thing” moment from Fantastic Four that looked more exciting than anything that made it into the actual film. Eagle-eyed Star Wars fans quickly spotted that a brief shot of what looked like Maz handing Leia Luke’s lightsaber in one of the Force Awakens trailer was absent from the cinematic cut.
Cut!

Here’s the clever new trailer for the upcoming Hulu mini-series based on Stephen King’s best novel of the past few years, 22.11.63. We say clever because it uses a simple technique – running footage backwards – to very good effect. The series is all about time travel, y’see. In essence it’s that old SF chestnut: if you could travel back in time to prevent a tragedy – in this case, the assassination of President John F Kennedy – would...

The idea of travelling back in time to prevent the assassination of president John F Kennedy was hardly a new one by the time Stephen King published 11.22.63 back in 2011 – it had been the stuff of countless pulp novels, comic book storylines and episodic TV episodes (Quantum Leap did its own memorable version). Yet somehow, King managed to turn this genre cliché into one of his most compelling novels in years.
One of the reasons was the number...

Wired has a new wideranging interview with Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens director JJ Abrams plus a few exciting new pics from the most eagerly-awaited film of the year. Abrams doesn’t give much away in terms of details but he does reveal the extent to which the next three films are going to dovetail despite having different directors: “The script for VIII is written. I’m sure rewrites are going to be endless, like they always...
